1956 Chris-Craft 23 Continental

This 1956 Chris-Craft Continental is a 23-foot mahogany runabout built for open-water cruising. The mahogany-planked hull features a modified-V planing bottom and spans 8 feet across the beam. Power comes from a Chevy 283 V8 inboard engine rated at 185 horsepower, delivering an estimated top speed of 35 to 40 mph.

The boat's interior features premium vinyl upholstery in original two-tone colors, with a wraparound Plexiglass windshield and chrome hardware throughout. The fuel capacity is approximately 35 gallons, supporting extended days on the water.

The hull has been treated with a custom dry bottom installation that addresses the swelling and seepage typical of traditional wooden construction. The boat is fitted with a single inboard direct drive and weighs approximately 3,400 pounds dry.
